(Or lack-of-colour, if you want to get technical.) I wore a long black dress to my highschool graduation. A couple years later, I was able to use it as a classy vampire costume.<br /><br />Black works well with pretty well any other colour (except those that don't work well on their own - no colours mentioned ). It can be sinister, and it can be dramatic - or both. It can be very conservative, or it can be exactly the opposite. <br /><br />It is also very useful if one enjoys disappearing into shadows.<br /><br />Black has many points in its favour!<br /><br />Kilmeny

Shame on me ;o Or do you just like the way dresses feel?<br />[/quote]<br /><br />(Howls of laughter).<br /><br />Nope, just a not-very-conventional female..... ;D<br /><br />Kilmeny

[quote author=mingshey link=board=6;threadid=433;start=75#4748 date=1061608292]<br />But white is easy to dirty, yes.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />And difficult to wash, yes?<br /><br />Well, for a bachelor amateur classicist it is. It is very likely to end up some other color. Like all my subtly pink - formerly white - socks. Only the white cotton french-cuffed shirts are paid close laundry attention.

Only the white cotton french-cuffed shirts are paid close laundry attention.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />The only things I really worry about washing are my uniform shirts, which are supposed to be a light blue in colour. I became much more careful about them after a mis-hap with a barracks washing machine that turned them sort of a greeny-blue. This was a problem, since they were then illegal to wear.....<br /><br />Pale blue uniform shirts now get washed with the white socks.....<br /><br />But that's another advantage to black - if it picks up colour from something else, you can't tell... and it takes a LONG time for black to be washed into a grey-ish colour.<br /><br />(I begin to wonder - why did I vote "blue"?)<br /><br />Kilmeny
